Closeness, 2009

The project grew out of the "defect of distance" I have been experiencing since living away from Poland. Items of clothing which have strong sentimental value because of their associations with people we love serve as extensions of their presence when they are not physically close and create a sense of closeness, safety, and belonging. The ceramic pieces have textures from specific textile items representing relationships with people I love and question the concepts of closeness and distance, presence and absence.
